Can Bulk Materials be Engineered at the Nanoscale?
Yes, bulk materials can be engineered at the nanoscale through various techniques such as top-down and bottom-up approaches. Top-down methods involve the reduction of bulk materials to nanoscale dimensions through processes like lithography, milling, and etching. Bottom-up methods involve the assembly of atoms or molecules to form nanostructures, often using chemical or physical deposition techniques. These methods enable the creation of nanostructured materials with tailored properties for specific applications.
